Matches between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain have never been without controversy. The two Ligue 1 teams have a history of bitter rivalry, which was quite evident in their last league game, with Marseille emerging as the 1-0 winner. Florian Thauvin scored the solo goal at the Parc des Princes. The match was marred by a massive fight in injury time, where referee Jerome Brisard had to show five red cards, including one for PSG and Brazilian superstar Neymar.
Here is the video of what happened:

With the game entering the 96th minute, visiting team captain Steven Mandanda paused for a long time before launching a goal kick and Neymar could be seen arguing with Álvaro González.
The PSG attacker also accused Álvaro of racism. After the goal kick, Argentines Darío Benedetto and Leandro Paredes got into a fight, which triggered the brawl. Paredes pushed Benedetto and also appeared to head butt Álvaro.

Then PSG’s Layvin Kurzawa and Marseille’s Jordan Amavi fought with each other. Benedetto and Paredes received their second yellow card. Kurzawa and Amavi received direct red cards. The VAR also showed that Neymar had beaten Álvaro, for which he was also expelled.
Shortly after the game, Neymar tweeted: “VAR detecting my ‘attack’ is easy, now I want to see him take the image of the racist calling me” MONKEY SON OF A BITCH “. That’s what I want to see. And then? I make a rainbow movie , you punish me … For a slap, they expel me … and they?
VAR hitting minha “agress” and mole … now I want to see hitting the racist image of me chamando de “MONO SON DE PUTA” (macaco filha da puta) … isso eu I want to see!
